In a recent press conference, Tipco 100% Fruit Juices held a Wellness Day at Icings in Tomas Morato.

Mona Chua, VP for Sales, TXN

The Wellness Day involved sharing of juices’ health benefits and how this impacts our daily lives. It also discussed how we should incorporate drinking of real fruit juices to help prevent diseases such as cancer and heart-related ailments.

Dra. Jocelyn Margelino, a registered nutritionist and dietician from a prestigious hospital in the country, gave a short lecture about today’s lifestyles and it’s affect on our well-being.

“…follow a simple regimen of rights: sleeping right, feeling right, exercising right, and eating right.  A glass of natural fruit and veggie juice gives you significant daily doses of fiber, vitamins and minerals.” says Margelino.

Some statistics and facts:

• 70% of the leading causes of death are related to lifestyle choices according to the FNRI
• WHO estimates that by 2010, cancer will be the leading cause of death globally
• Philippine Cancer Society estimates that 80% of cancers can be prevented

In reaction to this, they promote drinking of unadulterated fruit & veggie juice. But since juicing fresh greens and fruits are tedious, this is where Tipco 100% fruit juices come into the picture.

The Transaxion Unlimited Corp. (TXN) team has launched a healthy and nutritious fruit and veggie packed beverage- Tipco 100% 32 Veggie & Mixed Fruits Juice and 100% Gojiberry Juice. This is in addition to its 22 juice blend variety introduced a few years back and still available in the market today.

“32 Veggies & Mixed Fruit Juice along with Gojiberry Juice will surely satisfy one’s dietary and taste bud needs because the ingredients are amusingly put together to make each variant naturally good down to the last drop.” shared Kerwin Wong, CEO of TXN.

Event host was Ms. Meg Entrata. TXN VP for Sales Ms. Mona Chua also shared some facts about Tipco.

Other variants of Tipco juices include Spinach & Mixed Fruit with Wheatgrass Juice, Broccoli & Mixed Fruit Juice, Aloe Vera & White Grape Juice, and Beetroot & Mixed Fruit Juice. The special packing system also allows the juices to have all the nutritious benefits, but without harmful preservatives. Found in major stores and supermarkets, Tipco Juices are sold in 1L and 200ml sizes.

I have tried Purple Carrot, 32 Veggie, and Cranberry juice that day (and the Aloe Vera sometime ago); The Aloe Vera remains to be my favorite and the 32 Veggie gets a new thumbs up from NomNom. 🙂

So what is an Eclipse movie post doing in NomNomClub?

It’s because Jollibee recently sponsored an Eclipse Block Screening in Podium Mall in its first day of showing. At the same time, NomNomClub had a private contest for its foodie club members.

Marizen: NomNom Foodie Club Winner

Jollibee Burger Meal & Jollibee Barkada Meal

Marizel Villamora won the short contest which was posted in NomNom Club FB fanpage.

We met at the cinema venue, where she got the ticket and the Jollibee Eclipse promo meal with the Eclipse tumbler of her choice. The three main character’s faces are on the tumblers: Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner).

Aside from the fact that The Twilight Saga: Eclipse was better than its predecessors mainly because there were more action (personal view), I believe Marizel enjoyed the whole experience as well.

Thank you to Jollibee for the invites. If you are a Twilight Saga / Eclipse fanatic, you may get those limited edition tumblers with any Jollibee Burger Meal or Hotdog Value Meal by adding P25.  If 1 tumbler is not enough, get 3 tumblers with any purchase of Jollibee Barkada Meal for P275; which also comes in a special themed box. 🙂

Kraft Employee-cum-Photographers

15 to 20 Kraft employees unveiled a series of photographs in exhibit at the Filipinas Heritage Library in Ayala Triangle Gardens, Makati.

'Discover Delicious...'

It’s not all work. Being the 2nd largest food company in the world, Kraft Foods Philippines also encourages their employees to enhance their other skills such as photography.

With this in mind, 15-20 of their employees were trained under renowned photographer Jay Alonzo through a 3-day photography workshop.

Kraft Photography Enthusiasts

“…our employees-cum-photographers captured delicious moments all around our workplace and definitely had fun,” says Sudip Mall, General Manager of Kraft Foods (Philippines) Inc.

With the central theme of “Discover Delicious everywhere, everyday,” mentor Jay Alonzo had the participating employees to capture subjects of food and social relationships in Kraft’s own showcase kitchen facility.

In a recent Jollibee Breakfast Joys breakout party, Jollibee introduced their new Sausage and Egg Pandesal with a surprise performance involving the members of the media.

Jollibee Breakfast Joys Breakout with Bloggers Arpee, Ryan and Eric

Jollibee Sausage and Egg Pandesal

It came as a surprise when fellow morning diners and strangers begun standing up, singing, and dancing. This was followed by media practitioners from print and TV. Then suddenly, fellow bloggers Eric, Arpee, and Ryan who were with us at the table, also broke out into a song and dance number.

Jollibee Breakfast Meal

The Jollibee Sausage & Egg Pandesal I was holding almost fell of my hand. However, naturally, I had to put it down for a while as my blogger instincts kicked-in and powered up my camera – I took pictures and a video of the once-in-a-lifetime chance to record a song and dance number by some of the most prominent food bloggers in the country. 🙂

Here’s the short video of fun and celebration :)  :

And yes, the new Sausage and Egg Pandesal is Jollibee‘s morning breakfast answer to McDonald‘s Sausage McMuffin with Egg. 🙂

Come June 12, 2010, pinoy coffee Blend 45 raises a steaming coffee cup to toast with Filipinos in celebration of the historic Philippine Independence Day.

In honor of this occasion, the Kapeng Pinoy na Pinoy joins the nation’s annual flag-raising commemoration to be held in the Aguinaldo Shrine in Kawit, Cavite where the Philippine Flag was first waved.

For 45 years, Blend 45 has witnessed how Philippine history and culture developed into its rich, colorful heritage being the first locally manufactured coffee in the country tracing its roots to the 1960s. From the time when Pinoy talents conquered Broadway, beauty pageant scenes, sports, and music.

Philippine Flag (Philippine Independence Day)

Until today, Filipinos continue to love a cup of coffee, from waking up in the cool mornings with the family to having a nice long conversation with friends. This proud-to-be Pinoy Philippine coffee promises to keep warming the hearts of everyone through the comfort of a steaming coffee cup and continue to produce quality coffee blends available in leading stores and groceries nationwide.

Join the rest of the nation in celebrating a Pinoy pride-filled Philippine Independence Day!

Well, not actually “with” celebrity/actor John Lloyd Cruz.

John lloyd Cruz with Magic

It just so happened that John Lloyd Cruz is the latest main man endorser of Jack n’ Jill Magic. Being one of the country’s biggest food manufacturers, Universal Robina Corporation (URC) chose John Lloyd Cruz based on his background and credibility as an endorser.

“For me, magic is something that has no formula, something you just cannot create,” John Lloyd shares. “What I’ve achieved in the business is no joke. But it couldn’t have been all hard work and talent. There has to be some kind of magic that made things work out.”

Jack 'n Jill Magic - John Lloyd Presscon

They also appreciated John lloyd’s versatility as an actor which is comparable to Magic’s varied product lines of biscuits and snacks composed of six varieties namely:  Magic Flakes (Onion Chives, Cheese and Chocolate), Magic Thins, Magic Coated, Magic Creams, Magic Roundwich, and Magic Chips.

“There is truly more to him than being a dynamic actor. It’s like he works a kind of magic on and off screen to make life more exciting, and that is what our product is all about—living a life filled with fun, excitement and spontaneity, ” said Teree Eugenio, VP for URC Snackfoods 2, at the recently held press launch for Jack ‘n Jill Magic at Bar One in Crowne Plaza, Ortigas

Walnut Cake w/ Magic

While the press conference was made enjoyable by the comic performances of Silly People’s Improv Theater or SPIT. Everyone had a hearty lunch where some of the food were made from Magic flakes and creams.

Allow me to share the photos with you:

One main dish and two desserts, these three are just some of the creative ways you can prepare your Magic flakes or creams; beside John Lloyd Cruz or otherwise. 🙂
